An amazing view above the Minnesota State Capitol in St Paul right now. This must be bigger than anyone imagined. 👏 These are some of the largest protests the US has seen in years. #HandsOff #FiftyFiftyOne (🎥 Sara Schmitt)

NEW: On Section 504. "Attacks on any one group will be used as a wedge to attack all of us. You may not personally know any trans people, and you may even be uncomfortable with the idea ... but letting this attack go forward will eventually hurt you and the things you love, too." /1

startribune.comWhy are Republican states trying to overturn a pillar of disability rights?They may not be successful in repealing Section 504 as part of the attack on treating gender dysphoria, but it begs the question of what they might come for next.

10/ when we go for walks in non-snowy weather, I always carry a plastic bag to pick up litter. Sadly, it always gets filled. Happily, that’s one less bag of trash in our streets and heading for the Mississippi River.

9/ my yard is increasingly native, pollinator-friendly plants. I paid full price for some plants but have also gratefully received seeds from seed libraries, friends, and acquaintances. It’s a slow process but I love seeing the change and others compliment us on our garden.

8/ do our best to use up our food. Having an extra freezer in our basement (privilege) helps a lot. We cook from scratch a lot too. Scraps make great stock, I save them in a freezer bag until I’m ready to make some.

7/ eat a vegetarian/vegan diet. Veg options are increasingly available, tasty, and easy. Beyond, Impossible, and Morningstar are all good brands. If you can’t or don’t want to go fully veg, please don’t let it stop you from reducing your meat intake.

1/ moderate how much we heat and cool our house, wearing sweaters and using more blankets etc. All lights are LED bulbs As appliances fail we are replacing them with the most energy efficient ones

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.
